Angus and Madison’s show is almost sold out! They sold more than half their pieces at the opening setting a new Steeplechase record. I am happy to say Keith and I have dibs on the centerpiece of the show! And the horse and horseshoe of course. If you haven’t been down to see their show [...]
COLD BREW IS BACK FULL TIME!
Thank goodness it’s back. We switched it up this season. Last summer we had a dedicated following for our Sidamo cold brew. This Spring/Summer I was in the mood for something different, a different direction. I love a dessert-y tasting coffee. Something rich, deep, chocolatey, nutty, caramel-ly, and smooth. I absolutely could not decide on [...]
Welcome Red House Roasters to Steeplechase!
My cousin Kelly sent me a picture, via text message, about 3 weeks ago. It was a photo of a 12 oz bag of Nicaraguan micro-lot. Kelly and her husband Dan had just picked up their CSA in Hawthorne, New Jersey and picked up some new coffee with it. After explaining her Sunday-only ritual of [...]

Already selling them like crazy so I guess I’ll be doing another run next week. They designs are taken from preliminary [...]
More seating and table space at the shop!
Keith built some new tables…with some salvaged beams from a Greenpoint warehouse that we sourced at Southslope Woodworks on 20th Street. We now have 2 new 4-top tables…more room for eating, drinking, and working on machines. Even thinking about adding a couple more…realizing that some of our customers come in looking for a place [...]
every bit counts…
I thought we should let our friends and neighbors know a little bit about some programs we are implementing to offset the impact on the environment that a retail business most certainly creates. Although you don’t see as many cold cups leaving our shop because the weather dictates so, Steeplechase is now using only [...]
Brooklyn’s worst dad, comedian Doug Moe: Steeplechase shout out
So my cousin Nate, from Cohasset MA, alerted me to this…he texted me, or bbmd (?) me that a comedian named Doug Moe mentioned Steeplechase in an interview recently. This was right after Nate and his wife Carolyn had visited Keith and I in Brooklyn and were able to see the shop for the first [...]
